90 minutes and a goal for Michael Owen confirms his starting place for England. No idea who he will partner though, nobody standing out

[Economist]

Just hope Robinson is dropped

[Ronaldo VII]

Aye, me too. James didnt help his cause by the goal he conceeded at Chelsea but Robinson has been piss poor for weeks lol. Unless James makes multiple clangers tomorrow (and I hope he has a great game) it surely has to be his.

Could be, wasn't convincing against Fulham today.

The ledge is back, my bring back heskey campaign which i sent to mcclaren has worked.

McClaren has lost what remains of the plot he had. BTW Im waiting for this to be moved, you know it will happen.

Would you have played Smith?

[coolworld37]

Hope he doesn't give away any more stupid free kicks on the edge of the box. Anyhow, Heskey and Owen playing together should be interesting.

[Ronaldo VII]

Not started. I'd have gone with Owen and... probably Johnson. Smith did more than Owen against Germany and laid a few on a plate for him which he didn't do anything with. Smith is more of a player to hold it up and bring others into it, whilst working their defence but I think we need two goalscorers up front for these 2 quals.

Yep, they played very well together from their time at Liverpool and England and that will continue.

I can't remember Smith doing anything special for England. He's just like James Beattie....

[Ronaldo VII]

Who is to say that he will start? I don't get why McClown didn't call him up in the original squad if he wanted him.

Has Heskey been playing well so far this season?

I dont know, has he? Along with the other candidates he hasn't scored so I dont see what puts him above anyone that was previously in the squad. McClaren is just a joke. Heskey should never have been recalled after France.

Well now I know not to ask for your opinion much because you obviously don't keep up. Heskey has scored twice and assisted one and has been playing very well for Wigan. Obviously if you didn't know that, your opinion on Heskey is hardly worth listening to.
